I absolutely am not looking for conversation on a book I’ve read and you didn’t based on your impression of the cover. You can respond to the facts and information in the book after reading it, or you can simply keep running your mouth.
Pretend to believe, or believe, whatever you want. I thought this was a book recommendation thread, not an I didn’t read the book but I’m gonna keep talking about it thread. To me you sound a bit like someone who hasn’t read a holy text but insists they don’t need to because they see how the followers of that text behave, or that one quote taken from it that’s problematic, or because they just know theirs is the absolute truth.
All because I posted the cover of the book, and you absurdly insist people who fight for a private corporation for money, not in the us armed forces, many of whom are foreign nationals, aren’t really mercenaries. The quotes about profit motive, for example, come from actual people who worked for Blackwater.
I’m not an expert on Blackwater. I wanted to learn more. I read the book. If I come across another book with a different perspective, I’ll probably read that too. If you can suggest such a book, I’ll try to read it. That would have been a helpful comment instead of a “well, ackshuslly”
I see Eric Prince wrote a book. I’m sure that’s objective and unbiased, unlike the book I read.
